Scion 1808 radio in 05 Rav, question re plugs

eflayer2 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 04:55 PM

I have purchased one of these radios to replace the aftermarket junky pioneer installed by the previous owner of my newly purchased 05 Sport. I have not gotten into the dash yet, but have some concerns about whether or not the steering wheel control wiring will still be there.

On the rear of the Scion 1808 there are five different plugs. Are two plugs for steering wheel controls, two for normal wiring of the stereo, and the fifth one for plugging in an ipod or Aux device?

I know someone makes an ipod wiring connector and that product is available on ebay, but where would you plug a normal mp3 into this radio?

Better off posting on the electrical section on this site.

There are cables available on ebay to do this also.
I think they are SC12237

The ebay cables can connect an ipod, or both ipod & AUX MP3.

The lower left plug is the ipod/AUX input. The heavy plugs on the right are speakers. The plug on the left is the steering wheel control. The second from left is the 6-disc player input (if you have one or want one). I have heard this may also be the input location for the Serius or XM equipment.
